To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. HUTGHINS, of Okolona, in the county of Chickasaw, and in the State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn-Powers and I do hereby declare that the followin g is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to churn-powers; and the nature of my. invention consists in the combination of a case composed of three com partments, a train of wheels, a vertically-reci procatin g dash er, guides therefor, and revolving wind-blades, which serve as flies or balances, as will be fully understood from the following description, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings.

Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section through the churn-power. Fig. 2 is a section taken at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section, showing the upper guides for the dash-rod.

The case A is subdivided into three compartments,B, O, and D, and in order to give a full, clear, and exact description of my invention I shall first describe the parts in the compartment B.

E E designate two blades, which have loaded extremities, and which are keyed on a crankshaft on opposite sides of a crank, a. These loaded blades serve as balances for the churnpower, and they also serve as fans for cooling the compartment B, in which is applied the churn, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 1.

F designates a pitman, the upper end of which is appliedto the crank a, and at the lower end is connected by a tenon and hook to the dasher-rod G, which plays vertically K. The lowest wheel in the train is applied loosely on a shaft, L, and on one side of this wheel is a winding-drum,M, which is keyed on the shaft L and engaged with the said wheel by means of a ratchet-wheel, c, and a springactuated pawl, b.

On the outer end of the shaft L is a crankhandle, P, by means of which a rope, R, can be wound on the drum M. The rope R is carried over pulleys e e on top of the case A, and from this rope is suspended a weigl|i,W, which is arranged in the compartment 1), as shown in Fig. 2.

Having described my invention, I elaim The combination of the loaded rotary blades E, the dasher connected by a pitman and a rod, G, to the crank a, the guides H H, having hinged sections, the train of wheels in chamber 0, the winding-drum, the rope passed over pulleys, and the weight in chamber D, all substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature,

in presence of two witnesses, this 24th day of May, 1882.
